In areas like the Middle East we would have hoped for the displaced to live in Lifeshelters, as current reports document the vast deterioration of tents and families being forced out of their temporary homes.

Cost effective

At half the price of current school structures and shelter solutions Lifeshelter simply delivers more for less.

This leaves room for using scarce resources more effectively and for additional purposes.

This is currently being tested both in field and in controlled settings, and we welcome a fruitful and continuous discussion on the matter.

"I call on getting local production of shelters in Tanzania as soon as possible. The country currently houses 300,000 refugees from Burundi, and the president has said 'NO' to the purchase of more normal tents in the camps."
